Context menus do look nice, but the accidents that you can make with it are also easy. To put it short: "When you make things easier, the accidents also do come easier." eg: my mouse went crazy, or that something went wrong, or I was too dizzy .. With context menus things can go wrong also easily. eg: one person whom I know, after getting intoxicated, played with the context menus on his computer on a Windows desktop. Eventually and accidentally, it set the display upside down on his Intel Graphics accelerator. He went to sleep after getting tied of the entire world upside down. Next day only he realize that, it was not his intoxication that made things look upside down... He was off scrambling asking people how to get his original desktop state. Initially he tried placing the monitor upside down for the urgent work he had to do... So much for context menus.. That said, they are useful too, in a realistic world. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
